  1. Hungry Nurse or Troublemaker?

    donnasRN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if this is a repeat from what others have said, I didn't read every post so please bear with me. I do payroll for my entire unit and Nurses are told they HAVE TO take their break. If the unit...

  2. NYC area BSN Programs: Everything you ever wanted to know

    donnasRN replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    LOL. I'm sure it's for challenging one to come up with key ideas using interpretive and analytical skills from what they've obtained from a large body of information. Kinda like the two essay portions...

  3. Having second thoughts....

    donnasRN replied to katadat49's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with all the above posters. Also, are you sure Algebra, English, etc. are included in the prerequisites that can't be > 10 years old? I know they sometimes do that for the science...

  4. Dear Nurse, What would you like to see from us Student Nurses????

    donnasRN replied to MCNS2B's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this is so helpful... MCNS2B, thanks for posting this thread! I love the responses and can't believe some of the things student Nurses refuse to do when asked or just don't do at

  5. What time does your LTC facililty start getting residents up?

    donnasRN replied to KarynicaRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sorry you haven't been having a great experience in LTC, and thank goodness that CNA was fired. I don't work in LTC, but have worked in a facility similar to it and patients that did not get up...

  6. NYC area BSN Programs: Everything you ever wanted to know

    donnasRN replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    You're welcome. And, sorry, I'm not familiar with any schools offering Micro in a winter session, but you are one brave woman to take in between the fall and spring! An essay exam... They give you...

  7. NYC area BSN Programs: Everything you ever wanted to know

    donnasRN replied to MariposaNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry, this post is late, I just saw this thread. I can add Concordia College in Bronxville, NY to this list... They have started a 2nd degree BSN program in fall 2008, and I got accepted for fall...

  8. what to bring to a career fair?

    donnasRN replied to mixedfruit's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I don't have much experience with career fairs, but here are some websites that might help answer some of your questions: http://www.quintcareers.com/career_fair_checklist.html...

  9. To Do List.: Before Fall Semester

    donnasRN replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    This thread reminds me, I need to buy a new bookbag! Maybe a messenger bag with compartments and roomy enough to fit my laptop

  10. Go straight to BSN or do ADN now and BSN later?

    donnasRN replied to Lbug09's topic in General Students

    Yesh! I commend you, that sounds like a TOUGH schedule... That's definitely accelerated LOL! Best of

  11. Go straight to BSN or do ADN now and BSN later?

    donnasRN replied to Lbug09's topic in General Students

    There are a small # of schools in my area that offer "part-time" or "weekend" 2nd degree ABSN programs, where instead of being done in 12 months or 15 months, you're done in 2 years or 2.5 years, 3...

  12. Liability Insurance for Student Nurses

    donnasRN replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    My school made it mandatory for us to purchase it through NSO.com. If you haven't found out anything yet from your school, here's the link for NSO:...

  13. Go straight to BSN or do ADN now and BSN later?

    donnasRN replied to Lbug09's topic in General Students

    Getting your BSN now will really help you out for the future especially if you want to go for your Masters. There are some part-time ADN programs in my area, but the BSN programs aren't part-time...

  14. Will hospitals pay tuition for it's employees?

    donnasRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what the above poster stated... Also, a lot of hospitals expect that you work for them a minimum of two years after you graduate in order to receive tuition reimbursement. I'm not sure...

  15. The word NO

    donnasRN replied to SBehanna's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. At my facility, the vocabulary we're allowed to use is constantly changing and no one has a reason for it LOL! It's probably due to them catching wind of something that was documented...

  16. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    donnasRN replied to Guest343211's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry you got "dissed" but all you can do is learn from it and move on. And, no, this type of behavior does not belong in any particular unit - It doesn't belong anywhere... You're going to come...

  17. MONROE COLLEGE

    donnasRN replied to meredith8's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, it's a lot of money for an LPN program especially since most facilities require an ADN or BSN. I'm paying maybe $10,000 more for a BSN

  18. PLEASE I need help with gift basket ideas for nursing unit???

    donnasRN replied to GGT1's topic in General Nursing

    You can make your own or use: http://www.delightfuldeliveries.com/ They have some really great gift baskets for any occasion. Or, I personally love: http://www.ediblearrangements.com/ especially for...

  19. Leave BA degree off my resume?

    donnasRN replied to Sensoria17's topic in General Nursing

    You earned it, you paid for it, keep it on. If they don't hire you because you obtained a BA, you probably don't want to work

  20. Current Boss Sabotaged Nursing School app.

    donnasRN replied to ishootu's topic in General Nursing

    You can also write it yourself and have your employer sign it to make it easier on them. I've actually been to a few open houses where the Dean of Nursing has suggested doing that if your boss doesn't...

  21. Current Boss Sabotaged Nursing School app.

    donnasRN replied to ishootu's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that. Most schools look for letters of recommendation/character letters from employers so the next time you ask a manager for one and they agree, stay on top of them to make sure it gets...

  22. Recommendation for a white lab coat?

    donnasRN replied to prodigy's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't just for medical students, some Nursing schools require them in addition to scrubs. I am required to wear one for the program I'm in, and it had to be from Dove Apparel with our name...

  23. I have never taken Micriobiology before....

    donnasRN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure, I never purchase anything more than what my professor says we need... I just go by notes taken and textbooks, but I rarely use those either lol - I'm a good note taker so that's all I rely...

  24. I have never taken Micriobiology before....

    donnasRN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I took it last fall and loved it. It's not all memorization like the A&Ps were, you have to perform experiments, stains, write papers, etc. To study the stains used, I'd get an index card with a...

    donnasRN replied to Equest2789's topic in New York Nursing
